The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage novel Chapter 916

Seeing Frank say nothing, Glen continued, "My family is even less of a match against the South Sea Crow. That's why we need the Lionhearts' help, or we'd suffer even more losses. I hope you can understand…"

"That's not necessary," Frank said naturally. "The South Sea Crow and I had an agreement. She won't come after you anymore."

"What?!"

The room was left in shock at Frank's words.

"Haha…" The Turnbull executive who mocked Frank earlier was silent for a moment but soon turned toward Glen. "I told you, Mr. Turnbull—he's with the South Sea Crow. See? He admitted as much to it now. Why else is he fine when we're all infected?"

"Yeah. He was close to the South Sea Crow when she charged at Zac as well. Why wasn't he hit?"

"Don't bother. He's definitely her ally!"

The restless discussion around him left Frank scowling, even regretting asking his fellow apprentice to stay her hand from these people.

"The South Sea Crow isn't some monster. She's human—she can see reason!" He strode forward, snapping coolly at them, "Have none of you considered why she came after your family for three years?!"

Another Turnbull executive snorted dismissively. "We have plenty of enemies. She's just the worst and most cunning of them!"

"Exactly!"

"She might even be paid. Why else would she have been obsessed?!"
